err CANADA POSSESSES AT TIMMINS, ONTARIO THE WORLD'S RICHEST GOLD AREA A despatch from Cobalt says: ' Speaking at a banquet tendered by the Porcupine members to the visiting members of the Ontario Mining Asso- ciation at Schumacher, Mr. A. F. Brig- ham, general manager of the Hollin- ger mine, made a statement about that mine which sets it in the position of being the world's greatest gold mine. He said; that formerly h had thought $120,000 of each foot of depth was a fair estimate of the value of the' HoU ' linger, but lately decided that $150,000 a foot would be nearer. Mr. Brigham uggested a depth of 3,000 feet to be used as a basis for calculating the value of the Hollinger and added that on the $150,000 a foot valuation it purely a matter of arithmetic. In discussing: his statement after the meeting Mr. Brigham said that the mine had produced more than $150,000 a foot down to the 200-foot level and that there was yet considerable ore in reserve to that depth. Mr. Brigham said further at the banquet that he thought the other mines of Porcupine would in the aggregate have produc- tion which would equal that of Hoi- linger, "or at least a fair proportion of it." Following out Mr. Brigham's suggestion that "It was purely a mat- ter of arithmetic," to figure out the valuation he puts on the Hollinger mine, amounts to the astounding figure of $450,000,000 from surface down to only 3,000 feet. ALLIES DEM AND REPARATIONS DUE Defer Decision Regarding Moratorium Asked for by Germany. A despatch from Paris says: The Reparations Commission on Thursday j f\ afternoon decided to defer decision re- j garding Germany's request for a mor- atorium, and has so notified Berlin: At the same time It has stated its opinion that the reparational payments are but one, and not the most import- ant, of the causes contributing to the present depreciation of the mark. It has also notified Germany it can- not make a decision on the morator- ium until it receives a report from the! Committee on Guarantees as to what: measures are considered best for the restabilizing of the mark. It is hoped a decision may be reached before Aug- ust 16. The commission refuses to let Germany avoid payment of the re- duced amount of 32,000,000 gold marks due Saturday. Le Tejdps, returning on Thursday night stronger than ever to its thesis that Great Britain must waive her claims against France, declares blunt- ly that the French Government should "instruct its delegates to the Repara- tion Commission not to consent to any discussion of a moratorium unless it is accompanied by a proposal insuring definitely the early payment of thej sums necessary for repairing damage ] to the devastated regions, and in case of opposition 'the French Government has only one thing to do, namely, to resume freedom of action and upset the apple cart.' France has means for so doing." Key of Ancient Fort to Return to Canada A despatch from Annapolis Royal, N.S., says: The key of old Fort Anne, Annapolis Royal, taken from French hands in 1710 by British forces, and subsequently find- ing its way to Boston, will be presented to the Government of Canada by the Massachus- etts Historical Society, it is an- nounced here. This society has had the key since 1 789. The presentation will be made at Fort Anne this summer at a date to be decided later, by Arthur Lord, Vice-President of the Massachusetts Histori- cal Society, to L. M. Fortier, Annapolis Royal, acting on behalf of the Federal Govern- ment. THE BATTLE OF FOUR COURTS The photograph shows artillery In action at the Pour Courte, wiW wrecked building in the background.
